I just had a typhoid vaccination, is it alright to handle my baby milksnake?
Q. Im probably just being stupid.

A. There's nothing to worry about. Salmonella typhi is not carried by animals, it is only a human pathogen and humans are the only reservoir for it. The typhi vaccine is a "killed" vaccine. It will prompt immunity in your body but it cannot give you (or your snake) the disease.

what are the symptoms of typhoid fever?
Q. I am doing a case study of typhoid fever but I don't have much information on this subject.
Asked by Boimah O - Fri Oct 31 06:36:01 2008 - Infectious Diseases - 3 Answers - Comments
A. Typhoid fever is caused by Salmonella typhi bacteria. Typhoid fever is rare in industrialized countries. However, it remains a serious health threat in the developing world. Typhoid fever spreads through contaminated food and water or through close contact with someone who's infected. Signs and symptoms usually include high fever, headache, abdominal pain, and either constipation or diarrhea. When treated with antibiotics, most people with typhoid fever feel better within a few days, although a small percentage may die of complications. Although children with typhoid fever sometimes become sick suddenly, signs and symptoms are more likely to develop gradually often appearing one to three weeks after exposure to the disease. In some cases… [cont.]

Is it safe to have a vaccination for typhoid when trying to conceive?
Q. My family and i are going to South Africa in 2wks on holiday. The doctors surgery has told me its not compulsory to have vaccine but reccommends it. We are ttc and im a bit worried that if i was pregnant this month the vaccine could do harm. Any advice with this would be much appreciated.

A. Unless you are going to a malaria area I don`t see any reason why you should have a vaccine when going to South Africa. South Africa is and never has been a risk country and vaccines are. not requirement when going to the country. I think(know) you are perfectly safe without the vaccine. Happy holidays to you and your family.

A. What is Typhoid? Typhoid is also known as enteric fever or salmonellosis. It is an infectious disease and is a very common cause of persistent high grade fever. What is the cause of typhoid? Typhoid is a bacterial disease caused by Salmonella typhi. A related bacterium called Salmonella paratyphi causes paratyphoid fever. The disease is transmitted by contaminated food or water. How is it spread? These bacteria can live within the gall bladders of some human beings without causing disease for years. These carriers can pass these bacteria in their faeces (stools) and if the carrier happens to be a food handler, the disease may spread to a large number of people.

Does being fit and active during severe illness eg Typhoid help you or harm you?
Q. Does working out when extremely ill have any effects on your health. I am aware of the symptoms of Typhoid but I mean hypothetically speaking for majority of illnesses.

A. During severe illness it is best to not cause any more potential damage or use of vital energy or immune compromising activity than is essential. Especially with an acute self limiting illness that will run its course in a week, perhaps 10-14 days at most.. general rest and proper nutrition is indicated. In a fever such as you describe the illness can last a bit longer.. perhaps a month, or three -- With longer acting illness's it is still inadvisable to partake in any strenuous activity.. BUT, it is advisable to keep as active as is deemed sensible -- ie: Perhaps a few short walks during the week.. and light activity.

What is the difference between Typhoid and Ulcers and their root causes?
Q. Some health experts say that when typhoid becomes cronic in the body,some blisters develop and turn to ulcers.Is there a truth in this logistic.Please tell me.
Asked by Mwee - Mon Jul 24 07:20:17 2006 - Infectious Diseases - 1 Answers - Comments
A. Typhoid fever is caused by the bacterium Salmonella Typhi. It has a 10-30% fatality rate, but is easily treatable with widely available antibiotics. Symptoms are typical of most bacterial infections, and include high fever, chills, diarrhea, myalgia, rash etc. Extreme symptoms include intestinal perforation and hemorrhage. When promptly treated, morbidity drops to 1%. Ulcers - and I am assumming that you are referring to stomach ulcers - are usually caused by one of two primary agents: a viral infection, or cancer. Helicobacter pylorn, a virus, causes between 70% and 90% of all intestinal/stomach ulcers (the ulcers are essentially the same, and though stomach ulcers are more widely recognized by the public, intestinal ulcers are more… [cont.]

A. Quite possibly I believe. If you perform any form of watersports drinking / scatplay, then you'd be highly at risk, however, for plain oral sex, I would steer clear to be sure. As far as I know Typhoid is more of a bacteria found often in feces rather than urine, so even if the genitals are clean on the outside, you'd want to take major precautions to perform or recieve oral sex.

what is the effect of typhoid on pregnancy during first three months of pregnancy.?
Q. Apart from typhoid U.T.I infection named Pseudomonas also was detected.Both the problems are treated with antibiotics.I Want to know the effect of these problems on pregnancy.
Asked by Madhu - Mon Jul 7 11:20:32 2008 - Pregnancy - 1 Answers - Comments
A. Because you are in your first trimester, complications are low. Typhoid fever can be successfully treated and your pregnancy will most likely go on normally. There have been instances of fetal death, but this mostly occurrs in areas where access to hospitals and doctors is limited. There have been cases in the U.S. and the women were treated and carried on with their pregnancies, giving birth to healthy babies. A pseudomonas infection is quite common during pregnancy and seldom causes major complications. As long as you catch it early and treat it, you should have no problems. The antibiotics are safe to use while pregnant. Besides, your baby is better off ingesting some antibiotics rather than dying from complications of typhoid fever.
